Excellent place to stay

Old house that has been converted to hotel. Just a few rooms. Located next to the Bayfield museum. Very quiet. No one on duty, but outstanding response to questions. You get an email with front door and room code to get in. Good size room, several pieces of furniture, a gas fireplace, Roku TV,(don’t like!). The bed has a high quality mattress and bedding. Absolutely comfortable. Packer coffee as well as local ground coffee. Teas and tea pot. The bathroom has a shower, and a jetted tub. We were completely impressed with the overall cleanliness and condition of the room. The jetted tub was spotless, the vanity did not have a scratch on it. Not a speck of dirt, scum, or mold anywhere. Absolutely would come back Only 1 1/2 blocks from the Manypenny restaurant, which was excellent, both for breakfast and dinner.

The Great Water Inn

Everything about our stay at the Great Water Inn was exceptional! Although small, the rooms were very well organized with some tasty artwork! The place was thoroughly clean, the bed itself was very comfortable and we loved the organic cottons and organic toiletries! Soaps and shampoos were very nice! The location was ideal and within walking distance to Lake Superior, shops, music opportunities and dining! We took advantage of several recommendations by the owners; Hoops for delicious fresh fish, Mannypenny for a variety of breakfast's, both within walking distance, and a short drive to Good Thyme for fine dining was fantastic. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it to others! We will be back in the future!

The property is small, but very clean and very comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and everything was updated in the room. The property also has a deck with four chairs very nice and quiet back there. The owners were quick to respond to all of our needs, and the property is very walkable right in the middle of everything. We would definitely stay again.

This house was perfect for the 5 of us staying in Bayfield for a girls' trip!! It was SO cute, we all had our own beds, the full kitchen was so handy, and patio was perfect in the mornings & evenings(: Location is ideal; everything in town is within walking distance and parking was a breeze. The owners were so kind, great at communicating, and gave some excellent recommendations for restaurants!!! 10/10 stars!!
